Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Family Activity: Make a “wish poster”
“Think Win-Win is a frame of mind and heart that seeks mutual
benefit and mutual respect. It’s not thinking selfishly (win-lose) or
like a victim (lose-win). It’s thinking in terms of ‘we, not me.’”
—Stephen R. Covey
Scenario: A family member is sitting on the couch watching TV and
the other person enters the room and takes the remote to watch
something else. As a leader, consideration for others is important.
When conflict arise, look for win-win solutions.
_____________________________________________________________
Win-Lose: I get the remote and you get nothing. We don’t have
enough for the both of us.
_____________________________________________________________
Lose-Win: You get the remote and I get nothing. If you win, I am a
loser.
_____________________________________________________________
Lose-Lose: We argue and I throw the remote against the wall.
If I’m going down, you’re going down with me.
_____________________________________________________________
Win-Win: You and I decide to turn off the TV and play cards. It’s not
about you or me; it’s about both of us.
